q3 i? Post-adjustment conflict-based regulation coefficients averaged 0.04 (SD = 0.20) and equivalence testing was used to test their equivalence to zero. → Schnaubert 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Within-subject experiment testing hypothesis 3b: point-biserial rank correlations between post-adjustment conflict (absolute distance between disagreeing answers) and information requests. The mean coefficient was "at 0.04 ( SD = 0.20)", and equivalency testing (Lakens, 2017) with two one-sided t-tests against a − 0.20 to 0.20 Cohen's d interval was applied.

"The mean correlation coefficient across the sample was at 0.04 ( SD = 0.20). Because we hypothesized the absence of a correlation, we used equivalency testing as proposed by Lakens ( 2017) to test its equivalence to zero."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Learners request additional information mainly on items where their (adjusted) confidence is low, indicating confidence-based metacognitive regulation — related
• Partner confidence does not significantly affect whether learners change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
• Learners with lower own confidence are more inclined to change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
• Learners converge toward an unknown other's assumptions after seeing the other's answers and confidence, reducing the distance between their own and the partner's answers — related
